Old-time galaxy at Baltimore Fiddle Fair

Betse Ellis

Old-time enthusiasts can look forward to a treat at this year's Fiddle Fair in Baltimore, Co. Cork. Declan McCarthy says on the Fair website:

On Friday [8 May] we have a mind-blowing array of old-time and Cajun musicians from all over the States. One of our all time favourite groups is the Foghorn String Band and we're delighted to have Sammy and Caleb back again this year with some very special guests.

Joining the Foghorn Trio will be the amazing fiddler from the Wilders, Betse Ellis. And then the incredible multi-instrumentalist Dirk Powell, accompanied by Joel Savoy from Louisiana, will bring us the music of the Cajuns. Make sure to bring your dancing shoes.

All events at the Fair will take place in Baltimore itself. The Lind-Klauder-Ellis trio will also be playing at the Cathedral Quarter Festival in Belfast.
